To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ISAAC BROOKE, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Pottstown, in the county of Montgomery, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Radiator, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention consists of a radiator attachable to a furnace and adapted to direct products of combustion therethrough in such manner as to traverse a large surface, and thus derive great heat from said products which are ordinarily discharged directly into the chimney-flue.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a radiator embodying my invention, thesame being shown in position on a furnace. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section thereof on line a: m, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section thereof on line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 represents a view of the interior of the radiator, taken from the back thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a furnace at the back of which is the radiator B, which latter consists of a body formed of chambered plates C D, which are provided with ears E or other suitable means, so as to be united practically as one piece or casting. The plates C D are deflected inwardly at different places for a portion of their height, forming the vertically-extending walls F F, the inner ends G of the deflections meeting and being closely in contact, forming three flues H H J within the main portion of the body of the radiator, the flues H H being at the sides and the flue J being consequently at the center. The walls G do not extend to the top and bottom of the body of the radiator, while the top of the center flue is covered by the plate K. Consequently the side flues H are in communication with the upper part of said body, but the center flue is cut off at its top from said upper part, owing to said plate K. The bottoms of the flues H J are open to the lower portion of the body of the radiator, and consequently in communication with each other at their bottoms.

L designates the exit of the radiator, the same comprising a passage between the open top of the flue J and the adjacent dischargecollar R.

handle Q, convenient of access for properly operating said damper.

S designates a collar or passage at the top of the dome of the fire-chamber, the same being in communication with the inlet-collar S at the top of the body of the radiator.

The operation is as follows: The products of combustion enter the radiator, and if the damper is opened said products pass through the damper-frame M and as a direct course enter the collar R, and so escape without traversing the flues H J. When it is desired to pass said products through the flues H J, the damper is closed, whereby the products are deflected into the side flues H H and caused to descend the same, and at the bottoms thereof said products enter the bottom of the central flue J and rising in the latter reach the passage L, and so escape into the collar B, it being seen that as said products circulate through said flues H J the radiator will be highly heated, it being evident that as, owing to the flues H J, said products descend and ascend in the body there are lengthened surfaces for the traverse of said products, thus obtaining considerable heat from the radiator, the effect of which is evident.

Various changes may be Inade in the details of construction shown without departing from the general spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in each case to the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A radiator attachment for a furnace formed of a body of separate chambered sections, the latter being provided with inturned walls on the interior thereof, the inner terminals of said walls being closely in contact forming side and central flues which are in communication at the lower end of said body, the latter having an inlet in communication with the side flues and an outlet in communication with the central flue.

2. A radiator attachment for a furnace composed of a body formed of separate chambered sections, the latter being provided with intnrned walls on the interior thereof, the inner ends of said walls being closely in contact forming side and central fines, an inlet on said body in communication with the side fines, an outlet on said body in communication with the central fine, the top of the central flue having means for partially closing the same, and a damper above said means intermediate of said inlet and outlet.

3. A radiator attachment for a furnace composed of a body formed of chambered sections and having an inlet and-outlet, said sections being provided with inturned walls on the interior thereof, the inner sides of said walls being closely in contact forming central and side fines in said body, the side fines be mg in communication at their tops with said inlet and at the bottom thereof with the central fiue and the terminal of the latter-named flue being in communication with said outlet. 4. A radiator composed of a body formed of sections, the interior of the sections having inturned walls, the same being in contact forming central and side fines and an inlet and outlet on said body, the side fiues being in communication at their tops with said'inlet and at the bottom thereof With the central fine and the terminal of the latter-named flue being in communication with said outlet.
